new access to Stanford EPGY math - 06/24/10 06:03 PM
Hi folks,
Stanford EPGY seems to be available now through a third method (previously one signed up through their "traditional" quite expensive program, about $500 per quarter) or alternatively through "School based open enrollment". Many thanks to Melissa on this board for making that second option available to families here. According to the second option families paid $135 for a year which included access to the math course sequence as well as an English course. To access that second option, Melissa had to include your family's name, zip code, email etc. on the list associated with her group at Stanford, at which point you could sign your child up for EPGY.
Now Stanford EPGY Open Enrollment appears to allow families to sign up individually, without first accessing an Open Enrollment group (like Melissa's). The deal is not quite as good as the one we accessed through Melissa's group. I think you don't get access to the English class (at least I can't see anywhere you can select that as an option). Also it is slightly more expensive. However, it carries the advantage that you can sign up for three months at a time at a cost of $45 per quarter.
Quite a few parents here in NYC are interested in Stanford EPGY, and for those who have doubts whether their children will enjoy the program, this three month option is wonderful. Here is a link which will tell you about it and get you directly where you need to go if you are interested in this method of signing up:
